  • Title: [Effectiveness of treatment in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and chronic bronchitis by exposure on vertebro-osteo-sternal joints].
    Author: Kachesov VA, Litvinov VI, Kuz'min AI.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 2000; (2):31-3. PubMed ID: 10838906.
    Abstract:
    A hundred and twenty six patients with infiltrative destructive pulmonary tuberculosis were examined. In 62 patients of them, the vertebroosteosternal joints were exposed as part of multimodality treatment in order to arrest an exacerbation of chronic bronchitis. A control group included 64 patients. The exposure of vertebroosteosternal joints was found to enhance the efficiency of treatment for chronic bronchitis in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. This treatment promotes lower inflammatory intensity, diminished antigenemia and anti-protein antibody production. To arrest lesions in the bronchial tree with the proposed package of methods also favours a higher efficiency of treatment of a tuberculous process.
